Agent skills directory discoverability sections is missing support for .agents/skills and ~/.agent/skills #42914
Description
Code of Conduct
- I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
The Agent skills directory discoverability section in the documentation does not reflect all supported directory locations.
According to the current docs: https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/copilot/concepts/agents/about-agent-skills.md
Only the following locations are documented:
Project skills
.github/skills.claude/skills
Personal skills
~/.copilot/skills~/.claude/skills
However, during testing, I confirmed that the following directories are also supported by Copilot Agents, but are not mentioned anywhere in the documentation:
.agent/skills~/.agent/skills
These directories were successfully discovered and loaded by Copilot Agents in:
- VS Code (stable)
- VS Code Insiders
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
The documentation should list all supported agent skill discovery paths, including:
.agent/skills(project-level)~/.agent/skills(user-level)
